Discovery of North America
A Grosset All-Color Guide

1972
Direct from the kid nonfiction section, all you want to know about the “discovery” of America. (I guess it didn’t exist until some white guys “found” it.) It is a weeder just on the title ALONE. However, if that isn’t enough, check out the pictures and text. My personal favorite is the Viking in the metal bra.

It appears the native American woman is having a wardrobe malfunction….
Viking on cover is either discovering north America or backup dancing for lady gaga
LMAO!
At least the Viking isn’t wearing horns.
Didn’t Columbus “discover” Central America?
No, just the Caribbean. He never got to continental land.
Central America counts as part of the North American continent.
The pages shown sure look clean and pretty—did this ever go out??
Hey, even if this book is horribly outdated, I’m impressed that this book discusses Leif Eriksson. It’s amazing how many people think he’s a completely made up person thanks to “Leif Eriksson Day” on Spongebob.
